madwifi during install?

[Matt Morgan]

I have a laptop I want to install Ubuntu Breezy on. It has a "LAN
Express AS" card, which is apparently an Atheros chip supported by
madwifi. The machine also has built-in wired ethernet. FYI, the wifi
adapter connects to my AP under windows, and I'm not using WEP or WPA.

The Breezy Badger install isn't working, and I can't tell exactly why.
Basically, it's failing on DHCP without

a) telling me which network card it's using
b) giving me an opportunity to tell it to use the wifi card, and
madwifi drivers (and manually install a driver, if that's necessary).

How do I get this to work? How do I get more control over the install?
I tried "manually configure the network card," the option that comes
up when DHCP fails, but that only allows me to enter an IP address,
which is clearly not the problem. I think the install is just trying
to use the wired ethernet adapter, which isn't plugged in.

Thanks,
Matt
